Trump says AI safety fears a 'hoax' as he rejects calls for greater safeguards
The US president's comments come after Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark told the BBC an AI "kill switch" may need to be mandatory.
US President Donald Trump has said fears about the safety of AI are a "hoax", as he criticised calls to have more guardrails for the fast-moving technology.
It comes after Jack Clark, a co-founder of AI giant Anthropic, told the BBC that a "kill switch" for dangerous AI that can be checked by a third party may need to be mandatory for the industry.
Clark's comments followed warnings about the risks the technology poses to humanity that have been raised in recent days by several executives and staff at leading AI firms.
Clark's comments add to the growing number of tech industry and political figures calling for better safeguards.
